Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger shoved Jose Mourinho as their long-running feud turned physical in a 2-0 win which saw Chelsea take a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.

Wenger refused to take a backwards step in the 20th minute after leaving his technical area following Gary Cahill's tackle from behind on Alexis Sanchez.

In the end Chelsea ran out comfortable winners, Eden Hazard scoring from the spot after a mazy run into the box was ended abruptly by Laurent Koscielny and then Diego Costa adding another later on.

But how did the players rate? See the gallery below to find out.

The result means Wenger is still waiting for his first win against Mourinho.
